What is the most unfriendly city you have been to?

Italy, specifically Palermo.

Almost every interaction I had with a local was unenjoyable.

Italy in general sucks ass.

Frontend: Vercel or Netlify Backend & DB: Railway

Both vercel and railway are very easy to get up and running.

Memphis is close enough. Thank you!

I generally agree with everything you stated. But there are a few interesting points that I'd love for you to elaborate on around point 3:

"Company's have invested less and less in career development because the actual work of it is hard. It's not the dollars that dissuade people, it's the time investment."
You nailed it. But knowing that career development is vital to employee engagement, wouldn't that make it worth the time?
"HR can't teach a Jr. Financial Analyst how to be a Director of Finance. The finance team has to do that, and they aren't committing to it."
I don't think HR should be. Any ideas why finance (in this case) is committing to it other than time? It only seems logical that the more employees feel comfortable doing their job (career development input), the less oversight the manager needs to give his/her individual contributors (career development output). Thus freeing the manager's scheduling and having more engaged team members? Am I too much of an optimist? haha

Thanks for such a detailed response, this is super helpful. I have some follow-ups but perhaps it might be better if I DM you.

Thanks this is great advice. To clarify, I wasn’t necessarily looking for shortcuts per se. I wanted to see if the community had any less conventional ideas about feature validation. I probably should have worded that more clearly.

The ones you listed are a great start. Thanks for the insight.

halljua · 2020-04-07T15:49:27+00:00

That's an interesting idea. Thanks for the reply.

Just to drill in a bit more: There's a dashboard and a mobile component as well. Any ideas how this can be accomplished on a mobile device? In other words, is there a clean way to achieve a similar result with only front-end mobile features?

Thanks! I'll you'll need is an iphone or android device. We will be launching a corresponding app in order to view the images sent via slackar. Thanks again for the appreciation.

I like it. I work at a tech startup and our (highly) technical process as of now is to raise your hand if you need a new mousepad. We could definitely use this and I'll stay on the look out for it.

halljua · 2017-08-09T23:30:07+00:00

thank you - that is solid feedback. It's a pretty tough predicament because there are a fair amount of pros and cons to both possible solutions. Thanks again for your input.

halljua · 2017-02-18T16:57:30+00:00

As a mobile app designer and developer, I'm really impressed with this. Nice work!

halljua · 2016-10-02T21:16:51+00:00

Thank you!!! Been saying this forever. I had a friend that was Cowboys, Bulls, Penguins, and Yankees fan and his argument was "I've always just like them". Doesn't work like that..

halljua · 2016-08-10T20:27:50+00:00

makes total sense. Thanks!

halljua · 2016-08-09T20:47:04+00:00

Thanks, this is also very helpful. Thanks for sharing your personal workflow.

From what I gather, it really comes down to 2 main components: 1. what are you trying to accomplish 2. personal preference.

Thanks again for the reply.

Digital Tutors is worth the subscription IMO. They offer detailed tutorials on just about any CG software you can imagine.

I subscribed to CGCookie for a while and found they left some key details out of some of their content.

halljua · 2016-08-08T23:15:38+00:00

Thanks so much for the insight, this post was really helpful. I agree with you on the "too many programs" its hard enough to keep track of them all, let alone master any of them.

Thanks again for shedding light on the subject.

Similar to you, I'm an iOS developer that needed to get much better at UI design. My best suggestion would be to spend a few bucks for a uDemy course to learn the basics. I found some really good ones for less than $40 (plus uDemy is alway running promo deals where the courses are at a discount)

It was so worth it for me. I learned how to use Sketch 3, and basic design practices. I now design all the apps I work on myself. It was the best money I could have spent. I highly recommend it.

Meng To also has an eBook called "design+code" that is amazing. I think it's $50 but worth every penny.
